As dusk fell, Lin Zhan, accompanied by the young Taoist Zhang Haoming and the Lin family, returned to Gaowu.
Zhang Lingxiu had already prepared a lavish welcoming banquet for everyone.
Knowing that Lin Zhan's expedition this time was not dangerous, Zhang Lingxiu and the other Lin family members were not as worried as they were last time.
The meal was filled with the warmth of family reunion.
The elders of the Lin family, weary from several days of travel, retired early after dinner.
They actually wanted to give the young couple, Lin Dashao and Zhang Lingxiu, more private time.
After all, "a day apart feels like three years," and Lin Dashao hadn't seen his wife for so many days.
When rounded up, it felt like he had been separated from his wife for over a hundred years, so of course he missed her.
Following this, the young man and woman, long separated, spent a night that was silent yet filled with sounds. Sudarnovel.com
The next day, close to noon.
Lin Dashao, looking listless, appeared at the dining table.
The young Taoist, with his young wife Lin Ya'er, was already seated at the table, enthusiastically devouring the array of delicacies.
Seeing the weary Lin Dashao, the young Taoist greeted him, saying:
"What's wrong, Big Brother? Didn't sleep well last night."
Lin Dashao, uncharacteristically blushing, covered up: "Mm, I really didn't sleep well. I was pondering something that I couldn't quite figure out."
The young Taoist, a foodie himself, put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression:
"Indeed, Big Brother. I also pondered all night to figure something out."
Lin Zhan looked at the young Taoist in confusion, pondering: I stayed up all night accompanying my wife practicing vocal exercises, what are you, you little rascal, thinking about when you're not sleeping?
Lin Zhan then glanced at his own sister sitting beside the young Taoist.
But then he shook his head, casting aside some unrealistic thoughts.
The young Taoist ignored Lin Dashao's foolish behavior and said with a stern expression:
"Big Brother, we were schemed against by those King-level old ancestors. Those wretched old men are incredibly cunning."
Seeing the young Taoist's seriousness, Lin Zhan quickly asked: "What exactly happened? Tell me properly."
The young Taoist nodded and said:
"Big Brother, look, our Huaxia's current army only has the veterans from those three group armies, totaling 18 million, plus the 10 million guards of the Human King's Hall, and the 6 million from the main forces of the three Great Generals, Bai Qi and the others. In total, it's 34 million, the cream of Huaxia's military, right?"
Lin Zhan nodded and said: "That's right. The fourth and fifth group armies, those 12 million people, were assembled by my grandfather. The forces of the Human King's Hall and the three old ancestors were all looted back by the old ancestors."
Seeing that Lin Zhan was focusing on that aspect, the young Taoist continued:
"This means that, including the 60 million you newly organized, the main combat force of Huaxia, 72 million people, was assembled by our Lin family."
"The current First Front Army, and the Fourth and Fifth Group Armies, these 55 million people were all personally organized by you. To put it bluntly, besides your orders, others are useless. In this situation, if you don't become the Grand Marshal, then who can?"
Lin Zhan pondered silently for a while and then suddenly said:
"The old ancestors staged this entire affair because someone has designs on my position as Grand Marshal, and they also want to see if these King-level old fellows have colluded with outsiders."
The young Taoist nodded:
"That's right. Our Lin family's spies reported this morning that Empress Yekaterina of the Siberian Special District has awakened. We don't know what methods those polar bears used to directly advance this Empress to the level of a deep-rooted Human Emperor."
"And their Vladimir has also advanced from the initial King stage directly to the initial Clan Protecting Human King stage. This t
